Integration with Leading Content Management Systems

In the modern-day business world, content development is far more complex, distributed, and multicomponent than ever before. In such a scenario, it is important for a robust authoring and publishing tool to integrate with the enterprise Content Management System (CMS). Better integration and synergies between the content authoring and management engines will ensure better version control, more streamlined workflows and increased ease of component reusability.

Adobe FrameMaker XML Author offers out-of-the-box integration with best-of-breed CMSs like EMC Documentum, Microsoft SharePoint and Adobe CQ via built-in connectors, and others using third-party plug-ins. Get access to a set of APIs that connect your enterprise authoring environment with virtually any CMS to edit complex, multicomponent documents more conveniently.

Sirius CMS

Sirius CMS integrates FrameMaker XML Author as an editor and a publishing tool for XML or SGML. When using XML or SGML, FrameMaker XML Author users can reuse graphics from Sirius CMS´ asset database in their documents and use image formats that are normally not usable in FrameMaker (e.g. use PowerPoint slides as images). Sirius CMS can also manage binary FrameMaker files that are not XML or SGML. With FrameMaker XML Author version 12, administrators can specify whether users shall edit XML/SGML in FrameMakers traditional view or in author view or source view.

TIM 4.0

The authoring and content management system TIM 4.0 has an integrated interface (plugin) to FrameMaker 12 and FrameMaker XML Author. FrameMaker serves on the one side as an editor for the creation and maintenance of contents on the module and document level and as well as on the other side for the complex and automated publication. Via the plugin the editor is able to use the various functions of the authoring and content management system TIM 4.0 directly from FrameMaker, for example to change and save modules, has access to the image database, to search and to update up to the automatic generation of technical documentation, data sheets and product catalogues.
